History of our business

Corrections Consulting Services, LLC (CCS) has a proud history dating back to 2014 when it was originally formed as PREA Auditors of America, LLC (PAOA) by CEO Kathy Brownfield. From its inception, PAOA became the largest and most reputable PREA audit contractor in America, boasting well over 30 PREA auditors with over 100 years of combined detentions experience.

With a dedication to excellence, PAOA quickly became known for its ability to solve the nuances of corrections management while remaining timely and efficient. The company’s success was built on completing every audit on time, on budget, efficiently, and professionally. Additionally, PAOA’s auditors had actual correctional experience in supervisory roles, which gave the company a competitive edge against all other PREA auditing firms.

Facilities that worked with PAOA knew that the company would take care of business without disrupting the day-to-day workflow of management and staff. It is safe to say that PAOA was the gold standard for PREA auditing, and its reputation as a reliable and efficient auditing firm quickly spread throughout the industry.

Under the leadership of CEO Kathy Brownfield, PAOA grew to become the go-to choice for PREA auditing services, and its success led to the expansion of its services to include policy and procedure review, technology integration, accreditation support, and security audits.

In 2023, PAOA completed a name change to Corrections Consulting Services, LLC (CCS) to reflect its expanded mission to offer quality services and superior customer support across the government services sector. Despite the name change, the same talented staff remains in place, and CCS remains committed to providing the same excellent service and support to its valued customers.

With a proud history and a commitment to excellence, Corrections Consulting Services, LLC is dedicated to promoting safer communities through transparency, accountability, and best practices in the corrections industry.
